Degree Programs at Ohio Wesleyan University

Anything encyclopedic here should be in the main article for the school; anything else violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY. THF (talk) 03:14, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Yeah, unless there is something noteworthy about the programs offered, which is doubtful, this is basically just a directory of departments and not an encyclopedia article. Indrian (talk) 03:17, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete directory, thoroughly unencyclopedic. JJL (talk) 03:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and then consider whether to Merge back. The list of majors is considered appropriate content in the article on a college--and whether to list it separately is a decision on style. It was previously split, and afd is not for considering the merits of such editing decisions. I am not sure whether it should be separate, but this is not the place to discuss it.

- Can you show me a guideline or something to prove that "a list of majors is considered appropriate content" ? If you can I will second your opinion. Nerfari (talk) 22:57, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Indrian. RP459 (talk) 04:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Ohio_Wesleyan_University#Curriculum.2C_degrees_and_majors. Per WP:UNIGUIDE academic departments are generally not considered notable enough for their own articles; presumably this extends to listings of degree programs, therefore this AfD should not endorse keeping the article as a stand-alone. The content is appropriate for inclusion in the parent article, and ordinarily I would endorse a merge, but I share DGG's opinion that we should leave that move to the article talk page, considering that the material was split out per a recommendation made during a Featured Article review. Redirecting asserts that the material is not notable enough for its own stand-alone article, while keeping the content intact under the redirect in case a consensus forms to merge it into the parent article.

I have started a discussion on the parent article talk page. Baileypalblue (talk) 05:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:LIST. --Mr Accountable (talk) 15:41, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, too bad its not a list so that really does not apply. Indrian (talk) 21:36, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
